The New York Jets and Philadelphia Eagles are set to square off on Thursday night in what will be each team's final NFL preseason game of 2012.

The contest is set to get underway at 6:35 p.m. ET at Lincoln Financial Field. If you don't live in either local TV market, you can watch a live stream online by clicking here.

The Jets have been one of the worst teams this postseason. They are 0-3, and have yet to score a touchdown.

Tim Tebow won't play in the team's last contest of the preseason. The quarterback has struggled in three exhibition games, completing just 13 out of 36 passes for 151 yards.

In fact, none of the Jets starters are expected to play. Mark Sanchez and the rest of the starting offense will not play. The first-string defensive players are also scheduled to sit.

The Eagles have had a very different exhibition season than the Jets. Philadelphia is 3-0 in the preseason, having defeated the Steelers, Patriots and Browns.

Not surprisingly, Michael Vick won't suit up for the Eagles. The quarterback has been very injury prone since signing with Philadelphia. He missed three games last season, and left the first two exhibition games this year because of injuries.

Vick was 1-5 for five yards, before leaving the last game against New England. He didn't play against Cleveland.

Backup quarterback Mike Kafka will also sit out.

Prediction: The Jets have had a hard enough time scoring with their starters in the lineup, and it will be even tougher for them to score a touchdown without their first-stringers. The Eagles scored 27 points, even without their top two quarterbacks, last week. Philadelphia could win this one easily.

Predicted Score: Philadelphia 30, New York 6
